Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0419031A1] Cable tap assembly (2) for selectively connecting tap conductors (12, 13, 15) to cable wire conductors comprises a housing (24) having a cable wire locator for locating the cable wires in predetermined coplanar positions. A plurality of bus conductors (82) are provided in the housing (24) and extend parallel to the cable wires with each bus conductor (82) being dedicated to, and associated with, a single cable wire. The bus conductors (82) have receptacle sites (90) accessible from the exterior of the housing so that terminals (12, 13, 15) can be mated with the bus conductors (82). Connecting devices extend from the bus conductors to the cable wires. The assembly has a major surface (26) having defined zones (30,32), each of which receives an electrical connector(14, 16, (18, 20) that has male terminals which are mated with specific cable wires when the connector is coupled to the major surface.
